Federal authorities in South Florida are searching for a Colombian fugitive identified as Victor Julian Duque in connection with a multi-million-dollar money laundering scheme. According to officials, the operation involved laundering $54 million.
Role in Criminal Organization
Investigators state that Duque operated as a courier within the United States. His alleged responsibilities included collecting physical cash and depositing hundreds of thousands of dollars into bank accounts linked to fraudulent businesses. Officials report that these activities were conducted on behalf of a criminal organization known as the Clan del Golfo.
Federal Indictments and Arrests
A federal arrest warrant was issued for Duque in October. The broader investigation has led to indictments against a total of nine individuals. Out of eight individuals who were previously arrested in the case, six have already been convicted, according to information provided by the FBI.
Authorities have urged anyone with information regarding the fugitive to submit a tip online through the official portal at tips.fbi.gov or to contact an embassy or consulate.
